This publication collects representative and varied curriculum activities in the area of nutrition education. Aimed at stimulating thought and activities related to nutrition among both teachers and their 9- through 12-year-old students, the booklet suggests to teachers the ease with which nutrition information can be incorporated into the classroom. Nutrition education objectives for grades four through six, dietary guidelines, lists of basic food groups, nutrient information, recommended dietary daily allowances and metric information are covered. In addition, nutrition activities in the areas of math, social studies, language arts, and sciences are proposed. (Author/RH)
